2.2 Statement of Work
I. Subject:
FCI La Tuna intends to make a single award to a post-secondary institution, vocational training or industry-based school that will be
RFQP05101600026 Page 5 of 33 responsible for providing instruction in HVAC and/or Welding as part of a Sustainability training program. Successful completion of the college course(s) must qualify inmates for at least entry-level employment in a specified field upon release.
II. Background:
The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) was established in 1930 to provide more progressive and humane care for Federal inmates, to professionalize the prison service, and to ensure consistent and centralized administration. The Federal prison system is a nationwide system of prisons and detention facilities for the incarceration of persons who have been sentenced to imprisonment for Federal crimes and the detention of persons awaiting trial in Federal court. The defined mission of the BOP is as follows:
It is the mission of the Federal Bureau of Prisons to protect society by confining offenders in the controlled environments of prisons and community-based facilities that are safe, humane, cost-efficient, and appropriately secure, and that provide work and other self-improvement opportunities to assist offenders in becoming law-abiding citizens.
As an agency under the Executive Branch of the United States Government, the BOP receives an annual appropriation of funds to accomplish its mission. The public trust demands that this annual appropriation be prudently managed. Monies spent to provide education to the inmate population must reflect the agency’s best efforts to obtain cost-effective services, consistent with community standards.
In 1996, the Bureau of Prisons standardized procedures to (1) select and fund new vocational/occupational training programs, (2) select and fund existing vocational/occupational training programs, and (3) update equipment for existing vocational/occupational training programs. The following Bureau of Prisons Program Statements, which are available electronically at www.bop.gov, are applicable to this contract and are incorporated by reference to the same effect as if they were given in full text.
1. Program Statement 5300.21 – Education, Training, and Leisure Time Program Standards.
2. Program Statement 5353.01 – Occupational Education Programs
3. Program Statement 1237.13 – Information Security
III. Place of Performance:
Occupational training instruction will be performed at the post-secondary institution, vocational training school or industry-based school.
IV. Schedule of Performance:
The courses shall be instructed utilizing one (4) hour sessions of classroom instruction, with an estimated number of 5 instruction sessions per week for each of the courses. Typically, the post-secondary institution, vocational training school or industry-based school will provide services Monday through Friday, between 8:00 am and 12:00 pm, excluding Federal holidays; other days/hours may be implemented if necessary to meet program requirements and these days/hours may be adjusted to meet the needs of the institution. Specific dates for the classes will be determined by the Supervisor of Education and the post-secondary institution, vocational training school or industry-based school. Estimated annual sessions are approximately 154 sessions per course in a 12-month period. The instructors are available after 12:00pm to assist with students who require make-up hours.
Due to the nature of the correctional setting, sessions may be delayed or cancelled with little notice. The reasons for such delays may include but are not limited to inclement weather and institution emergencies. Make-up hours will be available for missed classes.
V. Supplies and Equipment:
The post-secondary institution, vocational training school or industry-based school is expected to directly provide supplies and equipment as part of the contract.
VI. Method of Performance:
The post-secondary institution, vocational training school or industry-based school will provide instruction for a HVAC and/or Welding program in accordance with Bureau of Prisons Program Statement 5353.01, Occupational Education Programs, and Bureau of Prisons Program Statement 5300.21, Education, Training and Leisure Time Program Standards.
20 – 40 percent of the curriculum’s competencies must be hands-on replication of the actual work environment. Application of hands-on work must be occupational in nature. An institution live work project may be utilized to demonstrate or apply hands-on competencies. Electronic or computer-based simulation does not satisfy the hands-on or live work requirement.
RFQP05101600026 Page 6 of 33
The Supervisor of Education must approve live work projects although inmates will be provided more than enough opportunities for live work at the post-secondary institution, vocational training school or industry-based school as part of the coursework in a program from an accredited source.
Marketable programs shall afford inmates the opportunity to gain in demand skills in a specific occupation, industry, or trade. The marketable program must qualify inmate graduates for at least an entry-level position in employment related to HVAC and/or Welding. As a precondition of the proposal for the contract, the post-secondary institution, vocational training school or industry-based school shall specify in writing to the Supervisor of Education the position(s) of employment for which inmate graduates will be eligible to apply.
VII. Scope of Performance:
The Supervisor of Education shall determine the minimum and maximum number of enrollments based on seats available at the college. The VT coordinator will work with the post-secondary institution, vocational training school or industry-based school to provide accurate documentation of the progress of all students.
The post-secondary institution, vocational training school or industry-based school will provide a written curriculum which establishes measurable behavioral objectives and procedures. The curriculum must include clear criteria which establish minimum expectations for program completion, provisions for the assessment of student progress, must identify the hands-on competencies and must require the students to demonstrate them. The course will include core classes needed to attain a college certificate, an industry-accepted certificate, an Associate in Arts degree (A.A.), an Associate in Science degree (A.S.), or an Associate in Applied Science degree (A.A.S.).
The post-secondary institution, vocational training school or industry-based school shall assist in the recruitment of employers affiliated with the identified occupation to participate in the institution’s mock job fair.
VIII. Performance Conditions:
Award of this contract is contingent upon FCI La Tuna’s approval to receive Advanced Occupational Education funding.
Award of this contract will result in a contractual arrangement only and is not a personnel appointment; payment is based on an end product or the accomplishment of a specific result; the service does not constitute an employer/employee relationship; and the post-secondary institution, vocational training school or industry-based school will not be subject to government supervision, except for security-related matters. However, post-secondary institution, vocational training school or industry-based school performance shall be monitored.
Performance Period(s):
Base Year: Effective Date of Award (EDOA) through 12 months from EDOA Option Year 1: 13 months from EDOA through 24 months from EDOA Option Year 2: 25 months from EDOA through 36 months from EDOA Option Year 3: 37 months from EDOA through 48 months from EDOA Option Year 4: 49 months from EDOA through 60 months from EDOA
IX. Inmate/Classroom Management:
Provisions of service under this contract will require instructors at the post-secondary institution, vocational training school or industry-based school to have frequent and unsupervised contact with inmates. Instructors will not be responsible for the management of inmates other than to ensure those inmates involved in activities within the instructor’s scope of work shall abide by all rules in effect to ensure their safety and well-being. Instructors will report any infraction of institutional rules and regulations by inmates to the appropriate institutional staff.
X. Education Background and Qualifications:
The instructor will be a post-secondary institution, vocational training school or industry-based school employee with all qualifications required to instruct students in HVAC and/or welding. The contract must be between FCI La Tuna and a post-secondary institution, vocational training school or industry-based school that provides training for students to receive industry-
RFQP05101600026 Page 7 of 33 recognized certification in HVAC and/or welding.
The occupational education program must fall under the provider’s umbrella of accreditation and lead to transferrable credits resulting in a college certificate, A.A., A.A.S. or A.S. degree. Industry-accepted certification is also acceptable. Providers must be accredited by a recognized accrediting agency..
The occupational education program must lead to a college certificate, A.A., A.S., A.A.S. or industry-recognized certificate qualifying inmates for at least an entry-level position of employment. Credits earned from the college certificate, A.A., A.S., or A.A.S. must be transferrable to a four-year college.
Four-year degree programs and programs in liberal arts/general studies are not authorized, although limited and specific courses of a liberal arts/general studies nature may be permitted if directly related to preparation for a specific occupation or vocation.
XI. Program Management/Institutional Security:
There will be no contractors in the institution.
XII. Miscellaneous Information:
None.
By submission of a quote/bid/proposal, the contractor agrees to all the above requirements.
XIII. Payment Terms
Payment terms as specified in FAR 52.212-4(g) apply. The post-secondary institution, vocational training school or industry-based school shall provide a monthly invoice to the FCI La Tuna Accounting Department which accurately reflects days worked, number of sessions, and the total amount due for the previous month’s services. The due date for making an invoice payment by the designated payment office shall be the 30th day after the designated billing office has received a proper invoice, or the government has accepted the services performed by the contractor. The post-secondary institution, vocational training school or industry-based school can, however, offer discount payment terms for prompt payments as specified in block 12 on the SF-1449 form of this solicitation. Half sessions will not be authorized for payment.

(3) A series of orders from the same ordering office within 30 days that together call for quantities exceeding the limitation in subparagraph (b)(1) or (2) of this section.
(c) If this is a requirements contract (i.e., includes the Requirements clause at subsection 52.216-21 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)), the Government is not required to order a part of any one requirement from the Contractor if that requirement exceeds the maximum-order limitations in paragraph (b) of this section.
(d) Notwithstanding paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, the Contractor shall honor any order exceeding the maximum order limitations in paragraph (b), unless that order (or orders) is returned to the ordering office within five (5) days after issuance, with written notice stating the Contractor's intent not to ship the item (or items) called for and the reasons. Upon receiving this notice, the Government may acquire the supplies or services from another source.
52.216-21 Requirements (Oct 1995)
(a) This is a requirements contract for the supplies or services specified, and effective for the period stated, in the Schedule. The quantities of supplies or services specified in the Schedule are estimates only and are not purchased by this contract. Except as this contract may otherwise provide, if the Government's requirements do not result in orders in the quantities described as "estimated" or "maximum" in the Schedule, that fact shall not constitute the basis for an equitable price adjustment.
(b) Delivery or performance shall be made only as authorized by orders issued in accordance with the Ordering clause. Subject to any limitations in the Order Limitations clause or elsewhere in this contract, the Contractor shall furnish to the Government all supplies or services specified in the Schedule and called for by orders issued in accordance with the Ordering clause. The Government may issue orders requiring delivery to multiple destinations or performance at multiple locations.
(c) Except as this contract otherwise provides, the Government shall order from the Contractor all the supplies or services specified in the Schedule that are required to be purchased by the Government activity or activities specified in the Schedule.
(d) The Government is not required to purchase from the Contractor requirements in excess of any limit on total orders under this contract.
(e) If the Government urgently requires delivery of any quantity of an item before the earliest date that delivery may be specified under this contract, and if the Contractor will not accept an order providing for the accelerated delivery, the Government may acquire the urgently required goods or services from another source.
(f) Any order issued during the effective period of this contract and not completed within that period shall be completed by the Contractor within the time specified in the order. The contract shall govern the Contractor's and Government's rights and obligations with respect to that order to the same extent as if the order were completed during the contract's effective period; provided, that the Contractor shall not be required to make any deliveries under this contract after the last day of the effective performance period.
52.217-8 Option to Extend Services (Nov 1999)
The Government may require continued performance of any services within the limits and at the rates specified in the contract. These rates may be adjusted only as a result of revisions to prevailing labor rates provided by the Secretary of Labor. The option provision may be exercised more than once, but the total extension of performance hereunder shall not exceed 6 months. The Contracting Officer may exercise the option by written notice to the Contractor prior to expiration of the current contract period.
52.217-9 Option to Extend the Term of the Contract (Mar 2000)
(a) The Government may extend the term of this contract by written notice to the Contractor prior to expiration of the current performance period; provided that the Government gives the Contractor a preliminary written notice of its intent to extend at least 60 days before the contract expires. The preliminary notice does not commit the Government to an extension.
(b) If the Government exercises this option, the extended contract shall be considered to include this option clause.
RFQP05101600026 Page 10 of 33
(c) The total duration of this contract, including the exercise of any options under this clause shall not exceed 5 years.
52.232-19 Availability of Funds for the Next Fiscal Year (Apr 1984)
Funds are not presently available for performance under this contract beyond September 30 of the base year or any option year exercised. The Government's obligation for performance of this contract beyond that date is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for contract purposes can be made. No legal liability on the part of the Government for any payment may arise for performance under this contract beyond September 30 of the base year or any option year exercised, until funds are made available to the Contracting Officer for performance and until the Contractor receives notice of availability, to be confirmed in writing by the Contracting Officer.
52.252-6 Authorized Deviations in Clauses (Apr 1984)
(a) The use in this solicitation or contract of any Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 CFR Chapter 1) clause with an authorized deviation is indicated by the addition of “(DEVIATION)”after the date of the clause.
